Abstract

An animal milking method and apparatus wherein a single milk meter measures the total milk flow from all four quarters of an animals udder, and the data generated by the milk meter is used to detect a departure from a predicted milk flow versus time relationship, indicative of an injured teat or an infected udder quarter, for alerting the herdsman to a condition which warrants medical inspection of the animal concerned. <IMAGE>
